Hi I am trying to trace a relative born in 1908 - I have his first marriage but seem to loose him in WW2. I know he re-married and had two or more children with second wife.

Has anyone else managed to trace forwards - have "googled" this but nobody seems to want to advise as only interested in tracing back through family lines?

Thanks.

You have to trawl through marriages records, from when he was divorced /widowed forwards.
Here's hoping he has not got to common a name,
Have you tried the easy way, by using the quick search box to see if he is any other members tree first ;O)
